As a newbie I've been wondering......I understand that a hollow point is going to hurt a lot more and have more "stopping power" than a FMJ but if you empty a clip (12 to 17 rounds) of FMJ aren't you still going to have a dead BG?

Not if they're all through-n-through.

Hurt is not the objective, wound channel* and falling blood pressure are the way to stop the threat!

When you are restricted to "ball-only" by convention you start to look for big-and-slow* or fast-and-tumbling*!
